Hebrew transliteration
Convert Hebrew text to Latin letters (and back) using a simple phonetic mapping. Final forms (ם ן ך ף ץ) are handled automatically. Vowel points are ignored — Hebrew readers fill vowels in from context.

About this scheme
Hebrew has been transliterated into Latin letters for almost as long as there have been Christian scholars reading it — medieval manuscripts, early printed Bibles, and modern linguistics textbooks all use variants of phonetic mappings. Standards like SBL, ISO 259, and ALA-LC differ in how they treat guttural consonants (ח, ע) and vowels. The mapping here is a pragmatic, loose scheme suitable for names and everyday words, not scholarly work.
